Lost Lives

by imo97

This is a poem from Juliet's perspective just after the parting at dawn scene. It's about her feelings for Tybalt and Romeo, and I hope is better than it sounds! Please, please review, it makes my day :)

A.N. Any feedback would be great, this was written very quickly and probably needs improving. Hope you enjoy it, anyway :D

Lost Lives

Leaves and blossom and crisp morn air,

A scene of beauty yet I despair.

My cousin slain with barbs of love;

Capulet lost to the land above.

And Romeo. My Romeo,

O, what hath thee done?

Banished and hunted, forgotten by some.

Not me, not I, his one true love;

No Montague lost to the land above.

But lost all the same,

Not lost is the pain.

I am no dove,

I am no light,

I am curtained stage, hidden fury and might

And fear, of actions my husband caused:

My true person veiled, muted, paused.

I am but a girl so filled with fright

That in night of passion, night of haste

I lose my purity, begin to waste

Away,

In time,

In heart of mine.

Grief of cousin and husband spill over line

Erected by mind to enclose the horror

That to this fray I lost another:

A lover.
